Bris Vegas Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Bris you have no idea bout the game, Dawkins could play to his 50 and never be a midfielder as good as Craig Bryson I might take your opinion more seriously if you actually posted reasons, explanations et al. Instead you just post Bryson-related drivel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombo Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 well di maria had none of those u mentioned but it still worked as he worked hard to perfect that position Wow your understanding of football really is skewed isn't it? Because Angel Di Maria can do something, that means Simon Dawkins can too? Look, we all watched the Fulham game, it was a nice backheel. But we're talking about a huge gulf in class between the two players, how can you not see that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YorkshireRam Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Just watching him play. As you know I'm a huge advocate of technical football and I just love watching technical players. England for too long has lauded hardworking midfielders such as Bryson and flashy wingers such as Zaha or Ibe. Watching Dawkins play is unique in the Championship. His skillset and technical ability is on a completely different level to 99% of the players in the league. I agree. But what attributes of his do you think make him stand out?

AmericanRam Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 This thread is really wearing me down. Some good thoughts here(bar one or two) but ultimately it falls to Mac and Simmo to make the best squad decisions and I trust them to do so. Bryson this season has not been as good as he was last season I get that...but Jeez. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead you just post Bryson-related drivel. Player of the year twice in 3 seasons Championship team of the year Covers more km per game than any other player in the league He's no as good centrally as Dawkins but thank god Steve mclaren thinks he is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLACML Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 To answer the thread title, I wouldn't play Bryson. Hughes and Hendrick are better. I won't wade into the Dawkins debate as you aren't getting anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmericanRam Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Who does everyone want for Huddersfield? I think Hughes has to start, and if Mac does drop Bryson(big if imo) then Eustace and Hendrick the other two? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkshireRam Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Who does everyone want for Huddersfield? I see Hughes has to start, and if Mac does drop Bryson(big if imo) then Eustace and Hendrick the other two? Eustace, Hughes and Bryson would be my pick.

Rev Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 The problem with Bryson is all a lot of the runs he makes are off the ball, both backwards and forwards, therefore you won't see them sat at home watching a stream. It's these runs which allow other players space in which to play, often on Saturday he was making the runs in the right channel, which gave Dawkins the room to wonder inside and get involved. They're both good footballers, the interplay between them and Martin is at times great. On other occasions, such as when Dawkins was played in and elected to shoot from a tight angle, rather than play in Martin for a tap in, show Dawkins has a lot to learn, not surprising seeing as he's had so little football for his age. In summary, they're both good players, in different positions, who I'd have in my starting eleven, can't see why it's either or? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted McMinn Football Genius Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Bryson is the best box to box midfielder outside the Premier League, he offers far more to the team than most take notice of. I think he is a victim of his own success last season, he has always been the true engine behind our success but he added an influx of goals last season lets not forget most strikers in the country failed to match his goal tally last season. This is unsustainable from a midfielder of his industrious nature, it was a great personal achievement but unlikely to be repeated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted McMinn Football Genius Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Has anyone else noticed that CB doesn't seem to take as many pot shots at the oppositions goal this season?? He has got that in his locker, just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still making the same runs though ted , but most of the time delivery in final 3rd is not as good as last season , that's the area that needs to be improved on from last year , and I agree with you he made a rod for his own back last season with the goals he scored , that wont be repeated but I can assure you he will still nab 8-10 this season and the ludicrous suggestion that he got a new contract n not caring now , that's the biggest load of nonsense I've read on here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmericanRam Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 I think this thread is a waste...until Bryson actually gets dropped. Even if he does, no way it will be for Dawks imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
